I have dyscalculia (dyslexia but with math) and adhd, and SCANT QUARTER INCH was my nemesis when I first started. I finally solved it with a combination of three techniques:
I love your straight forward approach to teaching, no fluff and of course using the word diabolical to describe a pattern.
When you said measure the seam allowance on the good side of the fabric, it was a light bulb moment. I always did it in the wrong side. Brilliant. I can’t thank you enough.
You changed me from a "swisher " to a finger presser a long time ago. It does make a huge difference! Thank you!
I call myself the Queen of the Ironing Board, but I’m so glad I watched this!
I remember the paper templates, tracing, cutting by hand. Today, the rotary cutter, the mat, the plastic templates. All miracles for me, otherwise I’d never have picked up quilting again.
Thank you Karen. When I first saw a jelly roll a couple of years ago, I thought, well, I surely can do that. I knew how to sew, some. I had taken Home Economics in high school, back in 1969. Anyway, being much older now, I really wanted to learn to quilt, so I started watching CZcams. I soon learned, there is a lot I didn’t know or even had heard of before. A scant 1/4 inch was one of them. Your videos have been so helpful. Your instructions are always very clear. I really appreciate that. May God bless you.❤️✝️🙏
This is the best explanation of the 1/4” seam.
Miss Karen..as soon as I seen this video I alerted my friend who is at the very beginning of her quilting journey. She loves your videos as much as I do. Thank you for keeping us on the straight and narrow with our techniques. You're the best!
I bought a 1/4" foot with a ledge and it dramatically increased my accuracy. I also use the painters tape ledge to help me keep my fabric straight, but the 1/4" foot was worth every penny I paid for it on my featherweight, and they sew a pretty straight seam to start with.
I love your no nonsense clear approach, thank you very much.
I've learned the 1/4" seam takes practice and I have to really watch what I'm doing and not get distracted...easier said than done. I do love when points come together like they should. Thanks Karen for your videos, I love them all!
I am a recovering swisher. I grew up steaming and starching linens and sewing a 5/8 inch seam when I made clothing. 1/4" seams has seemed to small. But I am getting better.....you don't need a lot of tools, just the ones that work for you and practice, practice, practice.....
I’ve been sewing for many years, but my seams are more accurate since I started using the ledge you recommended. Thank you for a refresher course of great information Karen. Wish I was young enough and physically able to join you on your cruise, but I do enjoy your videos of your trips. Thank you again. As always, you are a wealth of great information and guidance.
This was quite helpful to me as a new sewist! Thx Karen
Well dang! I’m learning so much from you!!! I’ve never made a sample block! I think I will. I have no issues with my points matching… I get compliments and friends ask how it’s done…in my mind it all starts with my cutting…I’m 72 years old…I didnt know just how much I have missed in all these years… I come from a mother that had 9 of us girls and sewed a lot of clothing!!! She made patterns from news papers. We loved getting new dresses for school and shorts with crop tops for hot summers… The three brothers got some summer shorts/shirts also …
Thank you for including our little Dude <3
Your ironing video was one of the most helpful to me to make better blocks.
Love how you demystify and simplify techniques. Thank you
Thank you of reminding me of things I already knew... and have meanwhile over the years successfully ignored 🙄
